I'm going to keep this as brief as possible. After much prodding from party members, I have decided I intend to run for the Northeast Governorship in February. My platform is a simple one: regional rights, personal responsibility, and limited government. I intend to continue the legacy of governor Hantheguitarman.

What you can expect from a Ghost_white administration:

1. A transparent and active administration.2. A economic agenda centered around more efficient government and restoring economic vitality.3. A fair hearing all of all concerns, no matter how small.4. Engagement with the legislature to promote activity and legislation that will benefit our region.

Wind Farm Bill1) Immediately allow establishment of wind farms on the entire continental shelf of the Northeast region. 2) Only big, slow rotating windmills that don't kill birds will be allowed.3) There must be a community consultation process prior to the construction of any wind power turbine, as well as a environmental impact study of the site and surrounding area. 4) The state can take part ownership of projects up to 49% in order to help startups and companies wanting to share the risk. Profits realized from the endeavor will be shared with the state, with profit sharing being proportional to ownership. 5) The state will assist utilities in building transmission lines to transport this energy from the coast. Improvements to the existing grid shall be made to accomodate this increase in electricity production and to deliver it efficiently to population centers. 6) Funding for provisions 4 and 5 shall come from the repeal of the Freedom to Drive Act. The Regional Gas Tax rate goes back to the level before the imposition of the moratorium.

iv) A polling booth shall be created by the Chief Judicial Officer of the Northeast Region. He or she will open the booth on the third Friday at 12:00:00am EST of every February, April, June, August, October and December and will close said both the following Sunday at 11:59:59pm EST. Every citizen will be given the opportunity to vote during this time. The Chief Judicial Officer of the Northeast Region must accept any absentee ballot conducted one week prior to the opening of the polls.

Since the election is already "unconstitutional" (we don't even have a CJO anymore...), I don't think it really matters. There weren't any objections in the approximately 2-day period prior to the opening of the voting booth.
